Join us for Trolley Time and Railfan Day!

July 3rd, 2009

We have two exciting events coming up at the Rochester & Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. On Sunday, July 19, please join us for "Trolley Time," hosted by the New York Museum of Transportation. Ride the only electric trolley ride in New York State, which connects to our museum's diesel-hauled trains throughout the day. Tour NYMT's exhibits and learn how electric trolley lines transformed cities at the turn of the century. Guides will take you through NYMT's modern electric substation, the source of the "juice" that makes trolley travel possible at our museum. Special Event pricing applies throughout the day.

Following "Trolley Time" is our next major event, our first annual "Railfan Day" on Saturday, August 1. A special day designed especially for railroad photographers, a number of set-ups and run-bys are planned, including a special coordinated night photo session hosted by Steve Barry, editor of Railfan & Railroad magazine. Tickets are $50 for the day session, $75 for both the day and night session. Both options include cookout dinner for all attendees. A limited number of spaces are available, so register online today!
